What InstaText is
InstaText improves writing supplied by the user, with a focus on clarity, readability, grammar, and style. It does not generate new content. Suggestions are shown for review, so users can accept or reject changes rather than having edits applied automatically. Its Personal Dictionary can preserve specified words or phrases, or substitute preferred wording. The desktop app also offers Auto, Formal, and Informal tone settings.
InstaText is available on the web and as a browser extension. The extension works across more than 20 online platforms, including Google Docs, Gmail, WhatsApp, Slack, Overleaf, Outlook, Salesforce, and WordPress. A Microsoft Word add-in supports Word online and the classic version, with Track Changes for suggested revisions. Desktop availability is in early access for Windows 10 and 11, requires an internet connection, and lists macOS as coming soon. The desktop page lists English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, and one local language in 40+ countries.
The free plan allows five improvements per day and up to 1,500 characters at a time; its terms restrict use to personal, non-commercial purposes. InstaText One offers unlimited use, supported languages, a browser extension, and the Word add-in. It costs €24.99 a month when billed monthly, or €9.99 a month when billed yearly at €119.88 a year. The company says submitted text is processed in memory and deleted after the improved version is returned, and that usage metadata is deleted after 30 days.
